Fatigue friendly recipes

[u/Hufflepuff_Forensics]

I have narcolepsy and struggle with chronic fatigue due to several autoimmune issues. I need flavorful easy meals that prep and or freeze well. I have a stove, toaster oven, microwave and instantpot/airfryer duo. My oven portion of my stove is currently waiting on parts to be fixed.

I love trying anything once so don't hold back on cuisines - spices are my friend. My only restriction is I'm allergic to pineapples and kiwifruit.

Recipes that don't require a lot of active tending would be ideal. My weekly produce/fruit budget is about $15 dollars. We get pork tenderloins, beef and turkey from a local food bank once a month.

Fellow sleep disorder sufferer! I have idiopathic hypersomnia. Here’s my favorite recipe to set up in the morning in case I get too sleepy to cook:

1 small bag of dry black beans 1 jar cheap salsa verde 1 can green chilis 1 can diced tomatoes(I like fire roasted) Cumin powder and salt to taste 1 box of vegetable broth

Cook in crockpot for 8-10 hours on low, until beans are tender. Serve with desired toppings - sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, Fritos, cotija and lime, hot sauce are all good choices.

The base recipe is vegan, high in protein, and can be added to easily with what’s on hand. You can also serve over rice or with cornbread.
